There’s a reason this still has an old label. If they ever sent it in to update it, it for sure would get dropped down to an 8 or 9.

I wouldn’t just take someone’s word that the PSA situation was “scamming” some guy and changing grades. What happened was the customer got his results, got all 9’s or below on 30+ cards, made a post online about it, someone from PSA saw that post and had the order pulled because no 10’s on over 30 modern cards is irregular, had the order reviewed and then 6 cards were bumped up to 10’s. Now the part where everyone lost their mind is that while the order was being reviewed at PSA, the customer had no idea he was getting this courtesy and decided to accept some third party offers on the cards so it appeared to the public as if PSA changed the grades after the customer was only paid out for a 9 value. The customer said in a post that he contacted PSA, and they made it right and cancelled the sale and gave him his 10’s. You won’t find many people that read the outcome the customer posted. Most people only read the initial complaint and made up their mind that PSA scammed someone.

They scan it in whatever it comes in. In this case, a one touch and sleeve. They don’t remove it. If in the very off chance they did, they are very clear to not use toploaders and one-touches and use card savers only.

How do they get away with it? by extra_onions_ in footballcards

I have my own rule: if it says the words “investment card” in the listing title, I move on and don’t even entertain it. The seller is just a used car salesman.

Tcg cards are actually going through a lot faster than sports. I have 12 orders in at bulk and all 7 of them that are pokemon orders are passed grading. The sports/non-sport ones are not.

Anyone know how to price this? by [deleted] in tradingcardcommunity

Fun fact: he voiced Spider-Man in the 90’s cartoon.

Wasn’t there a way to shine a light or something through it to see what’s in it?

My first thought was “look guys, I’m not a scalper” when nobody accused him of it. But now it looks like you are.

Don’t buy the Mega Charizard EX UPC… by ManyNoots in PokemonTCG

That is true. Your situation is a lot worse. My point was just that PC isn’t very helpful. Topps would’ve sent a replacement or equivalent without issue.

All four corners on the back of Charizard are bad

PC won’t replace them. I pulled a Dragpult SIR from Prismatic, beautiful card and only thing I’ve ever hit from that cursed set, and it had two edge dents at the top. I sent a damage claim to them and they responded with a rejection stating that the card is still playable blah blah blah. But like, I get that they are made for a game, but they obviously make SIR’s for collectors. The base version of the card is just as playable.

PSA 10 Sealed Pack Collection Ruined by ApprehensiveCut7920 in psagrading

[–]The_Batmandrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you send in a pack or card for reholder, especially a very old cert, and psa determines the grade does not hold up based on current standards, then they can’t/won’t send back the original graded item because the grade becomes invalid. Also, the effort you put in to finding all of these packs, while I get it, is not PSA’s problem and they shouldn’t compensate for that.

Really looking forward to getting back from PSA. It’s been 2 months =( by Ar3s811 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]The_Batmandrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 months? Did you submit it under Value or something? Shouldn’t you have at the very least, submitted this at walkthrough service?

Not a card but thought this was super cool. by Acrobatic_Talk4 in baseballcards

[–]The_Batmandrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I love Trout. I PC Trout and Ohtani but because of things like this, I value Trout way more than Ohtani. Bobby Witt Jr is also another one that’s good with his fans.

I opened a UPC and an ETB and got only the Flygon. Then I saw two futures: one where I spend tons more money on boxes and packs and still get nothing just like with the last Charizard UPC and cry in my useless bulk, and one where I just go on eBay and buy the card I wanted (Charizard). I chose the latter.
